How's this for an undecided voter?


I walk into the city hall to vote today. I still wasn't sure who I wanted to vote for, but I was sure that once I was in the booth I would know. So I walk, ballet in hand, up to the booth and look at the choices I have. This is when I expected my "gut" to kick in and tell me who to vote for. ...Nothing. Dumb gut- couldn't even count on it! So I proceed to fill out my votes on the rest of the ballet and the came back to the presidential candidates. I closed my eyes and put my finger on the paper. I opened my eyes and placed my vote where my finger landed. ...that would have been funny, hey? :D Actually, my gut gave me a little hint and I was able to finish the ballet.

Really, how does one go to vote and have no idea who to vote for??? I had educated myself, weighed the pros and cons of each candidate, and I still didn't know. I am okay with my vote, because I am okay with either candidate being president. I think both can offer some really good things for our country. I also worry about some things with each candidate, but in the end I think our country will be refreshed with a new president.

Right now I maintain that our country is great. However, if Mickey Mouse wins this election I am moving to Canada.

I'm not! Can you imagine how much fun this country would be? The whole country would be one giant Disneyland. Maybe we should just all let our hair down and embrace our inner kid. It wouldn't be so bad.

Good point, Mindi! Maybe I'd give it a shot. But if Mickey appoints the 7 dwarves (sp?) as his secret service then I'd leave- I mean, that's just bad decision-making!

Montreal,or Canada has just as many poltical parties to vote for. Same problems, just far more socialist in nature. Most folks pay roughly 50% of thier salary in taxes.

The grass is never greener on the other side, ah?

Plus the french are snotty

I'm not sure about Mickey; he was never my favorite. Goofy, now, is another story!
